African American Poetry: A Digital Anthology

Blanche Taylor Dickinson, Biographical Note in "Caroling Dusk" (1927)

I was born on a farm near Franklin, Kentucky, April 15, 1896, and received my education variously ... public schools, Bowling Green Academy, Simmon's University and Summer schools. No degree. Taught for several years in my native state. I am a lover of music and divide my time  between the typewriter and piano. First published in Franklin Favorite, later, Louisville Leader, Chicago Defender, Pittsburgh Courier, Crisis, Opportunity and Wayfarer. My favorite poets are Countee Cullen, Georgia Douglas Johnson and Edna St. Vincent Millay; my favorite past-time,
walking along a crowded street. I have a hunch that I shall become a short story writer and my favorite exertion is trying to perfect my “technique.”
At present I am living in Sewickley, Penna.
